Bubble Bed

Somewhere in this photo is my garden bench...

Snowed in family members are back in their own homes - all safe and snuggly. Two feet of snow and closed interstates resulted in extra family time!

Of course my first response to an empty house was to have husband John undo the temporary sleeping quarters in 'my bubble'. Daughter Amy and Sister Gail hadn't even made it to the interstate and the twin bed was out of the craft room, back in storage, and I was poised ready to dig in to some serious card making! Poor Gail - between the card crafting and bed - she practically had to dive into bed and close the door with her toe! Granddaughter Bailey wondered if Gail was going to get up in the night and secretly work on crafts. Between Gail's anti-craft mantra and not enough room to swing a cat - FAT CHANCE of THAT happening!

With family gone I haven't done any cleaning - I decided I deserve some bubble time!

Christmas is over and I for one am SICK of sweets. This is my remedy for calorie free sweets! I was browsing through previous sketches at MoJo Monday and found just what I needed! I knew I wanted to use the lollipops, found a suitable background - and POOF - a card is born!

I really like shopping at Target. I mean I REALLY like shopping at Target (or as my friend Lisa calls it "the hundred dollar store&quot...

Buwahhahahah! College Student Quotes!

New Alum: When I get married I want to have 9 babies. Me: You want 9 children? Alum: Yes. All born in the same year. Me: So you are saying you want to father a litter. Alum: Litter? No. I want a baseball team. Me: Would you consider 9 babies over - say - the course of 3-4 years? Alum: (furrowed brow/hesitation) I suppose I could deal with that. Me: You do realize you don't even have a girlfriend yet. Alum: I've had girlfriends. The 9 babies clause seems to be a deal breaker for some reason. Me: How do you feel about tennis?

Biology Major: "I had my first day in the cadaver lab today." Me: "Oh? And what was it like?" Student: "The morgue must have had her on her stomach because her breasts were kinda squished on to her sides." Me: "Maybe you should retake physics." Student: "Why?" Me: "One word...gravity." Student.....(wait for it....wait for it...imagine a light bulb above his head....the light bulb turns on..."Oh. OH! Really?" Me: "How was theology class?"

"When they put the name above your first classroom door - you know you really have a 'big girl' job"

"We know when you close the blinds on your office door window that 'Sh!t just got real' and we shouldn't bother you."

"Raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the main reason I have trust issues."

Me: "You have on one green sock and one pink sock." Student: "Life is too short to sort socks."

"I'm too young to be this broke!"

"I love college! Except for the reading. I really don't like to read. I hate it when we have quizes. Oh and I really don't like doing research. And I really don't like to write papers. Other than that I love college!"
